Interview With Equality Now and NYSE Tour
Busy day. So busy I skipped all my classes. After missing a week, what's one more day? I got up early but was still running late to meet the Securities Law Association at 9AM int JG lobby. Got there at 9:10 and they were gone. Sprinted across campus and caught them at the subway just in the nick of time. We went down to wall street and spent an hour touring the New York Stock Exchange. It actually wasn't that exciting. It looks just like on tv. No difference. Just watch the financial news if you care, don't bother going to New York, not worth it. The only weird thing was that they wear funny jackets on the trading floor with mesh backs. Took the subway back up. Went to lunch at Faculty House with some firm, I'm totally losing track. I guess it was Freshfields today, some international firm specializing in something or other. Hedgefunds maybe? I don't remember, or care. Lunch wasn't very good, they have the same boxes at all these events and it gets tiresome. Went home after lunch and took a nap. I was exhausted. I didn't get any sleep because I did my laundry before bed and my bedding didn't get dry because it is so cold in the basement. So yeah. I slept in wet and nearly frozen bedding which was highly unpleasant. I hope it's dry by now or tonight will be bad too. Anyway, I woke up, got dressed in a suit and went across campus to take a subway to my interview. I slipped a lot because my dress shoes have no traction and there is snow and ice everywhere. I ended up taking a cab 'cause I was afraid I's be late. Cost me $10, very sad. The interview probably wasn't worth it. Oh well. The interviewer only asked me one question. Why was I interested in women's rights? The rest of the time she just talked about the organization. I guess they had already made up their minds about me. I think I'll get an offer. I doubt I'll accept it though. Came home. Ate a pot pie. Fell asleep watching the news. Woke up to go to Le Monde for cocktails with another nameless firm. Lotta Jews there though and they had kosher snacks. I had a couple vodka tonics and a scotch. I'm very unimpressed with the skills of the local bar tenders. No one even knows how to make a brandy alexander. From there I went to a Tu B'Shvat Seder at Hillel. It was ok, nothing extraordinary. Woulda been nicer with a different crowd maybe. After that I came home. Got my email semi working and started cleaning it out. I think I'll read my moot court problem now and call it a night.
